To the members of Spectrum Theatre, now you all know about this fantastic ITA site you will feel connected with the rest of the WA amateur theatre world.

Thanks for a great weekend and the enthusiasm shown to those of us who were able to make it to Albany.Glad we were able to share just a little of our collective experience with you all.

We found a little theatre with a big heats and asperations.

Everone there was more than you would like to have expected, except Albany Motels (2001 tourist town of the year) which all closed at 9pm, and got rather upset when bonifde travelers conteated them about accomodation (this was no one fault about the mix up in a place to stay - just a little hich up - which the weekend well tuely made up for) - The only motel manager prepared to get up and let us in was Neil from the BANSHIA GARDENS RESORT ALBANY HIGHWAY, who thought it was part of his job and why he was in hospitaly to be there to give service - he must be new to the area?

Anyway enough of the negatives - Both Denmark and Port (light Opera) theatre's had representatives, who seemed to have gained and "I hope" found thier weekend not wasted.

Although they are remote and have an axe hanging over the theatre's future, mainly because UWA has teken over the building above and now along side - exspantionism seems to have set in, especaily as they want to use thier facilities as well (the LOO's).
There again this may be only a rumble in the jungle, but after the theatre has served the community very well over the last 20 years it would gaint loss for the town and all concerned.

Man the baricades guys and run up the flag - you could be "in for a bumpy" fight. Best of luck - Your theatre will always win in the end!!!!
